Soar! | SLC Conversion Contest

This was my entry into the Vekoma SLC Conversion Contest! It gave the challenge of constructing a roller coaster using the preexisting footers of the Vekoma SLC "Infusion" at Blackpool Pleasure Beach (more details can be found here: https://nolimitscentral.com/forum/topic/711).

Notes on this coaster:

I decided to give a go at a B&M invert for this contest because I thought that an invert really fits the park and also that it would be fun to give a go at one. When making it, I wanted it to keep the signature B&M feel and shaping to the elements, but also throw in some of my own twists. I included some unique elements like the sideways straight drop and also played with the shaping of some preexisting elements on B&M inverts. This included making the Immelmann hold riders upside down for as long as possible.

STATISTICS:

-Length: 1150m / 3750ft

-Top speed: 91 km/h / 56mph

-Hight: 32m / 105ft

-Inversions: 6

-Duration (from end of lift to brakes): 0:47

Other random notes:

-This coaster is 100% hand built

-Yes, there are multiple instances of ejector pops and sustained ejector often paired with laterals. Yes, I know B&M would never do that in a million years.
